It was inevitable but I’m a bit surprised that it wasn’t Dark Alex to have come out with a solution to the no homebrew on the PSP Brite.
Yes, it is NOW possible to install custom firmware on your PSP-3000. How? You just need to have a PSP-3000 with 5.03 official firmware (or ofw for short) and below. How? Proceed to install 5.03 GEN-A via ChickHEN hack.
The 5.03 GEN-A is enabled via the ChickHEN hack from Davee. Using the TIFF Exploit discovered earlier by MaTiAZ, Davee found a way to use that with his new Kernel exploit to allow homebrew on all PSP’s. That includes the previously thought unhackable TA88v3 motherboard found in PSP-3000’s and some newer PSP-2000 units. After installing the ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler, you then install 5.03 GEN-A over it.
Sounds simple? Yep. If you want a more detailed guide, read up this installation guide for 5.03 GEN-A via ChickHEN hack.
As you read above, if you have a PSP-2000 with a TA88v3 motherboard, you can have the 5.03 GEN-A custom firmware installed. If you’ve not sure what motherboard you have, check out the CFW compatibility guide.
Currently, all PSP models can now install custom firmware.
Now who needs the Lite Blue Tool tool from Datel huh? It’s a pure rip off at $29.99 which does nothing but eat your cash.

Hi..
I have bought psp 3002 fw 5.70. how to crack @ downgrade for play game on memory stick?
I hope you can help me..please
You can’t downgrade a PSP-3000.
hey i bought a psp 3000 but is v5.55 when can be downloaded?
Can anyone let me know when a hack is developed to play iso/cso files on a 3002 with fw 5.70?
we still dont know when davee team will release chickhen r3.but as far as i know they still work on it.just be patient and go buy some umd games..lol
in order to play cso/iso on a psp 3000, u nid a modifier/upgrade/downgrade etc. so i did that chickhenr2/5.03gen-a so i can play iso/cso games but im not allowed to play umd and the battery is not allowed to be totally drained, or else the modifier would be deleted. and i would repeat the install-the-modifier process again which takes a LOT of time and could probably damage the system. is there any modifier available for psp 3000 where in i could play iso/cso/umd & the battery cud be drained?
R they working on the 7.50 cuz i want to play ff9 on psp thanks
no dude.if we are lucky davee will release chickhen r3 anytime but dont expect too much..and r3 will work on ofw 5.50 if im not mistaken.why dont you sacrificed some money on umd or psn store..
